Storyline of A Shop for Killers: What it able to be about?
This story revolves around Jian, whose whole world turns upside down when her uncle dies of “suicide” (that’s what the police inform her) right after she enters college. Jian knows her uncle pretty well; he isn’t the type of person to commit suicide.
He may be mysterious and quiet, but he is never suicidal! And that is when she starts snooping around just to realize that her uncle is into some kind of business. He secretly used to run a firearms-selling website for professional killers.
While snooping, she gets a notification about a large sum of money being transferred to her uncle’s account, and she tries to deal with it by telling the person who sent the money that the website is closed for some internal reasons, but the person is too clever and realizes that Jin-man is dead, and the person responding is his niece Jian.
He warns Jian that she is now going to die, and suddenly she gets a knock on her door from a woman who is a friend of her uncle’s, but she scares her initially by attacking her.
Now, Jian slowly remembers that her uncle had given her ten years of training, and it was for this reason that he had prepared her. To know who killed her uncle and who wants to kill her, she must survive all the gunshots, bombs, and drone attacks and retaliate.
What will be going to happen in Season 2 with expectation and spoiler?
Season 1 is not yet over, so much can’t be said about Season 2. However, Jian will survive, and she will be the successor of the weapon-selling website. She is going to follow in her uncle’s footsteps, but first, she has to prove herself in Season 1.
The upcoming episode 3 of Season 1 will focus on the learning curve of Jian, but first, she needs some backup to deal with the problem coming closer to her residence: Mr. Kim and his men. For this, she will summon the people with yellow, red, and purple access codes. Season 3 is going to keep all of us on the edge of our seats.
What happened at the end of Season 1?
Only 2 out of the 8 episodes have been released in Season 1 of A Shop for Killers. So, let’s talk about the two episodes. The first episode introduces us to Jian and her current condition.
She has just received the news of her uncle’s death and has come back home. She slowly starts snooping around to find the cause of her uncle’s death (she doesn’t buy the police’s narrative).
While snooping around, she realizes that the so-called agricultural supplies website her uncle used to own is not real. Instead, he is masking his business of selling weapons, bugging devices, and poisonous drugs on the dark web! She also realizes within the first episode that she has a special code called “Green Code.”
This code is the highest access code of the website (called murderhelp) and obliges all the members with purple, red, and yellow codes to protect Jin Man and Ji An.
On to the next episode. This episode deals with the past.
It focuses on the part where Jian is orphaned and has completely broken down. The only family she has in the world is her uncle Jin-man. It is also revealed that not only her uncle but her entire family was fishy and hiding something from her. Her parents and grandmother died mysteriously.
The past mostly consists of how her uncle taught her how to communicate using riddles, and it seems that since childhood she has been part of mysterious deaths and attacks.
Back in the present, Min-Hye tries to trick her into entering her house; however, Jian is too clever and realizes that she is in danger, so she doesn’t let him in, and he attacks her home with drones! Time is running out, and Jian and Jeong-min hide.
Jian attacks the drones with a slingshot. In the end, we see that Mr. Kim and his men are approaching Jian’s residence, and he announces that whoever gets Jian, will pay them a bonus. Will they get Jian?
